This is hands down my go to restaurant in Rome. The food is outstanding and the service is simply way above and beyond anything I've ever experienced. The staff is phenomenal at making you feel "at home" and are extremely attentive to the smallest details. If you're in Rome and didn't check this place out, you're missing out.
